For ME they are the likes of something I never grew up seeing in my sky....which entails quite a few decades. I may not give the answer you are looking for, but I DO know when I'm being baited by someone who THINKS he's a smartass!
SHOW me an image from before 1970 with the SAME characteristics. YOU CAN'T.

Why use examples from craft that's not been flying for half a century? Most all modern commercial aircraft use turbofan engines, don't they? They all produce heat as a byproduct. Why would one at the same elevation, leave a trail and the other not?
Some engines need different conditions to leave contrails. Here, for example are an Airbus A340 (maiden flight: 1991) on the left, leaving contrails, and a Boeing 707 (maiden flight: 1957) not leaving contrails. Both are flying at 33,000 feet (part of a German test to study contrail formation), but the newer engines of the A340 produce more water vapor at a different temperature, and so make contrails.

Why am I a smartass?....I asked you a question is all
I'm 50 years of age, I've seen contrails all my life, they are exactly the same today as they were decades ago!....there may be more now than there was when I was a lad.....but I think you'll find that there are a hell of a lot more planes than there were 40 or 50 years ago.
And you never answered the question....what do chemtrails look like?

I was living in Christchurch, New Zealand in the 1960's, in the suburb of Bexley, about 1 km from New Brighton Beach (Bexley got wiped out in the earthquake of Feb 2011)
As a kid I saw contrails from planes flying between Wellington and Dunedin overhead. These were new, because the Boeing 737's that formed them only started flying in NZ in 1968.
Then in 1976 I started an apprenticeship as an aircraft mechanic working for New Zealand National Airways Corporation (NAC) working on those self same 737's - striping them down at C and D checks, working on components and engines in various overhaul shops, including the fuel systems.
And they were still making those contrails - and I never saw anything fitted to them that was not standard equipment as defined in the parts and overhaul manuals.

I also remember from childhood that in order to see such a wondrous site, for a kid, was it had to be a a really high elevation. Not so much any more. And, for a planet that's "warming, it's a wonder that we see them at the elevations we do.
Really. So you are claiming that aircraft are now producing contrails at a much lower height? What height do you think the aircraft that you seeing are flying at? Are you saying that they are down at 10,000 feet or lower?
I ask that because there are some extremely misleading videos out there by the die-hard peddlers. They wan't to promote this myth of 'chemtrail sprayers' down at 6,000 feet.
These two videos show the depths that the die-hards will go to. Yes they actually believe that that the aircraft are at 6,000 feet. They can't even work out basic perspective! They can't even be honest and identify the type of aircraft in the second video. No it isn't a C-17 Globemaster but they have to do this in order to claim that is is a 'military operation' . The aircraft is actually a civilian charter Antonov 124. The Antonov is the worlds second largest aircraft and dwarfs the C-17.

I hope you're in the southern hemisphere (where it's winter) because contrails don't form in the summer.

Because it's too hot.

How do we know if the government has not made agreements with the suppliers of jet fuel to add certain minerals to the fuel which would effectively make the jet emmissions into engineered chemtrails.

That's no where near 15k feet. I only posted it because he said that it wasn't possible to do from 6k feet. That video looks to be much lower than that. Smoke? It's chemical smoke. It's an aerosol just like they use in chemtrails.
